I was wearing shoes that were not quite a right fit, and riding a bike that was and is not quite big enough, these little things contributed to a little click, crumple in my left hip, that up until a couple of days ago was an unnoticed, but all-consuming source of discomfort and bad mood, grumpy mood.

It really got the best of me, the small, subtle pain. I didn’t ever think it would, but it did.

Fortunately, the other day, my sciatic nerve was released from between the Piriformis and everything slid in place. This is too rare and good an opportunity to not take advantage of.

So, I am about to push through what I consider to be a relatively small amount of discomfort and crush some muscles, nerves and tendons while I can tolerate it. I am feeling much better and the goal is to stay that way, whatever it takes.

Mobility, never really fun to do, but always seems worthwhile in the end. So, in reference to my favorite movie of all time, “To the pain!”
